There is money available towards it from the football foundation as long as they can jump through hoops and perform countless party tricks to satisfy the bureacrats

Out of curiosity does anyone know what planning restrictions are in place round that side now that houses have been built there ?

MCR ADIM · 20-03-2008, 22:11

its also says that they plan to have new changing rooms on that side and other things aswell which are named in the paper

SOUNDS GOOD TO ME EVERYONE ,WILL IT BE REPLACING THE WHOLE OF THE WHINNY HILL STAND ,AND HAVE NEW DRESSING ROOMS

BUILT IN,THINGS ARE LOOKING BRIGHT FOR THE CLUB WHO PLAY IN RED N WHITE

cmonstanley · 20-03-2008, 22:27

could stick a bar in the away end where the dressing rooms are now for away fans .plus that means there could be two rooms for hire.or maybe turn it into a youth club and brainwash all the youth from around the surrounding area to support stanley

forward thinking

There's a lot of lgic in that. The more facilites that are available to the local community the more support there's likely to be when paying for it all

I know when I went into the club a few fridays ago, rob Heys talked a bit about this and it all sounds pretty exciting stuff

Although to quote Rob Heys, from Accy Observer, "It is hard as we don't need it, the fans don't want it, but it is a Football League rule - you have to have 2,000 covered seats, so we need 1,000 more."

I'll certainly miss the cowshed, and I won't be sitting down to watch.

Surely the club will have to use new seating to maximise revenue from away support? Wait for the plans, I suppose.

I don't want away fans to have the new stand if the players are gonna run out of the middle of it. It defies logic now that our players and the officials are allowed to walk towards the away fans at full time let alone incorporating that into any new designs. But I also wouldn't want them to have the existing main stand with bar facilities!

and I dont reckon they should have a goal end either!

The changing rooms should be as near to the Clayton End as possible if only for parking ease for the players. Then give the away fans the last quarter of the new stand if necessary and the corner towards the manky toilets!

Anyway, come August Oggy and you'll be homeless!

You'd better budge up.

You're making it sound very welcoming for away fans, maybe you should be a greeter.

Like Oggy, although all this new stand stuff is very exciting, I am concerned about where I'm going to stand when it all happens.
I don't know anywhere else to go. Maybe I'll end up getting lost and find myself on the Darwen End?
